The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $127,684 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Florida to conduct a collaborative research project investigating the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on the Southern Hemisphere. The research team, consisting of scientists from the University of California San Diego, University of Florida, and Liverpool University, will employ innovative...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $208,680 will support research into the role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Awarded on August 15, 2022 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with performance through July 31, 2025, the grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research team will conduct dynamic and static compression experiments to measure physical properties of...
This two-year, $163,559 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the development of high-resolution records of paleomagnetic secular variation (PSV) in the Western North Atlantic Ocean between 380,000-780,000 years ago. Specifically, the grantee will reanalyze PSV records including directions, relative paleointensity, and evidence of six magnetic field excursions recorded in deep-sea sediments at...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $278,947 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the Earth's geomagnetic field and its changes over the early Holocene period (10,000 to 7,000 years ago). The project aims to establish a high-quality paleomagnetic transect across the Arctic region by analyzing sediment cores to reconstruct the direction and intensity changes of the geomagnetic...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the historical geomagnetic field using Arctic paleomagnetic data. The project aims to establish a high-quality, high-resolution paleomagnetic transect across the Arctic region from 10,000 to 7,000 years ago, a time period that may be analogous to recent changes in the Earth's magnetic field. The $272,164 award, effective January 1,...
This $107,298 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rochester to investigate the evolution of magnetic fields on Earth and other planets. Over five years, the award will support graduate student and local high school/undergraduate student-led research using computer modeling and shock experiments to study early planetary core formation and the potential influence of meteorite impacts on generating magnetic...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $239,517 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research exploring the potential role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Over the two-year period from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025, the grantee will collect new experimental measurements on the physical properties of iron-bearing silicate melts under various...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $299,887 to the University of California, Berkeley from November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2025. The project aims to develop new reduced complexity models for simulating convection and magnetic field generation in the Earth's core. This use-inspired research will enable more reliable forecasting of changes in the Earth's magnetic field, which is critical for planning space missions due to the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $564,286 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support research investigating two hypotheses for the generation of Earth's ancient magnetic field. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will be used to conduct first-principles quantum-mechanical simulations to predict key material properties governing electron transport in silicate liquids and test whether a silicate dynamo hosted in...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $320,186 will fund collaborative research to refine the archeomagnetic record of southern Africa and develop numerical dynamo simulations exploring the effect of Earth's deep interior on magnetic fields. Specifically, the University of Colorado will conduct field studies and collect archeological artifacts in southern Africa with partners in South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe to refine the Iron Age archeomagnetic record. Laboratory analyses...
